Suspect there is NOTHING Obama could have said that would be acceptable to most here. If he talked too much, or showed too much emotion, he would be politicizing this, or he would've been making this about himself. Most here already truly know this president's soul already, and they don't like it. Almost all of that has to do with his politics, for some it has to do with his race, but really nothing is truly about his character and soul.

I still remember bush, when he was told of the airplanes and the towers. he had a straight face. NO reaction. just sat there. and the speeches he made after seemed fake. oh please, if he showed more emotion, he’d be accused of faking it. he’ll never win with you guys.

To me, his words have always lacked emotion, warmth, or any kind of feeling. This is why I never understood why, during the campaign, people spoke of Obama as being such a great orator.

What could ANY President have to say about Kennedy's legacy that would have inspired us? It breaks our hearts when acts of wickedness steal the lives of our brothers and sisters. And a President has the potential to lift our spirits in times of crisis. But this was Ted Kennedy. This was no crisis. He died of cancer. America is more heartbroken over the millions of dead pre-born children who Kennedy will finally have to face. The funeral was for Ted Kennedy, of all people.

It is not helpful to pathologize someone you don't know intimately. It's easy to characterize ANY politician as a pathological narcissist--because politicians are not normal human beings. Nevertheless, they are human and should be assessed on their policies. Obama is a liberal utopian. He is pursuing the agenda of Ivy league wordsmith intellectuals. Read his memoir and learn that he is the perfect PoMo product of our multi-culti educational system, thoroughly indoctrinated in its ritual hatred of Western civilization. He is dangerous because of his charismatic appeal to the immature who long for a perfect, aggression free utopia. We are headed for a second civil war, this time not between North and South but between utopians and realists. As a psychoanalyst, I dissent from the diagnostic efforts of the commenters.

His father '41, while superior on many of the technical skills of appearing presidential or at least for a time controlling his message before a hostile press, lacked the appearance of the common touch. When GHWB was Reagan's Vice President he once described the job as "You die. We fly." There appears to be something very wrong about Obama and I wish that some of the psychiatrists and therapists who offer opinions on others based on little public information could objectively study and report on the fitness of BHO.
